As we dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to move your pieces safely around the board to your inner board and at the same time your opponent moves their chips toward their home board in the opposite direction. With opposing player checkers shifting in opposite directions there is bound to be conflict and the need for particular tactics at specific instances. Here are the last 2 Backgammon tactics to complete your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking strategy is to slow down the opponent to move their chips, the Priming Game strategy is to completely block any movement of the opponent by constructing a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The competitor’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a battered position if he/she ever tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be setup anyplace between point 2 and point 11 in your board. As soon as you’ve successfully constructed the prime to prevent the activity of your opponent, your opponent does not even get a chance to toss the dice, that means you move your checkers and toss the dice again. You’ll be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Strategy
The goals of the Back Game plan and the Blocking Game plan are very similar – to harm your opponent’s positions in hope to boost your chances of succeeding, however the Back Game tactic utilizes seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally used when you’re far behind your opponent. To play Backgammon with this plan, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This strategy is more challenging than others to employ in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the checkers are moved is partly the outcome of the dice roll.
